Looking at your watch a third time waiting in the station for a busGoing to a place that's far, so far away and if that's not enoughGoing where nobody says hello, they don't talk to anybody they don't knowYou'll wind up in some factory that's full time filth and nowhere left to goWalk home to an empty house, sit around all by yourselfI know it might sound strange, but I believeYou'll be coming back before too long

Don't go back to RockvilleAnd waste another year

At night I drink myself to sleep and pretendI don't care if you're not here with me'Cause it's so much easier to handleAll my problems if I'm too far out to seaBut something better happen soonOr it's gonna be too late to bring you back

It's not as though I really need youIf you were here I'd only bleed youBut everybody else in town only wants to bring you down andThat's not how it ought to beI know it might sound strange, but I believeYou'll be coming back before too long
